How big is your family?
Do you often visit your relatives?
Who do you get on with best in your family?
What family traditions do you have?
Do you like spending your free time with your relatives?
What can you advise people who want to have good relationships with their relatives?
If you want to have a good relationship with your parents and grandparents you should always remember that they love you and mean the best to you. You should appreciate what they do for you, show respect, and try to understand them. Be polite, don’t use harsh words. Remember their birthdays and other special events. Show your gratitude with a little gift, a flower or a hug. Make them realise that you care for them. If you go out in the evening remember that they worry about you, don’t forget to call them and tell where you are. Moreover, help about the house because your parents get tired at work. If you tidy up your room, do the washing up, do the shopping or cooking, you will let your parents rest and make them happy.
They say that parents and children have difficulties understanding each other because of the generation gap. What do you think about this problem?
Generation gap is some misunderstanding between parents and children, grown-ups and teenagers. Adults and teenagers don’t see eye to eye on many things. Teenagers fight for their freedom; they want to be independent, to make their own decisions. Moreover, they don’t respect their parents, don’t want to obey them, and want to do whatever they want. Teens’ protesting shocks people around them. Sometimes they take to drugs, smoking and alcohol. Some of them can be rude, heartless, ill-behaved. It is my firm belief that we must do our best to understand each other, to be polite, and respect each other’s opinion. In my family I don’t have this problem, my parents love me, understand me, support me and in my turn I do the same.

Let’s talk about youth and society.
Who can be considered youth?
Each age group in society has its own role and this is important in many different ways. Youth as a description of a sector of society has many definitions depending on the perspective being used. For the purposes of this discussion youth will be considered to be the stage of life involving transition into adulthood: approximately age 15 to 25.
Young people are often considered to represent the future as they bring new ideas and energy to add to the pool of knowledge that currently exists. They can bring enthusiasm and vitality which can lead to new discoveries and developments that can benefit society or even the world at large. Although not the only drivers of social change, young people are seen to be one the key drivers engendering change. Whether this is inherent in the beliefs of young people or the hope for the future is placed upon them by older generations is not clear. However, there are many new opportunities becoming available that can provide very different futures for today’s youth that were not available to previous generations.

The young generation occupies a special place in social environment. The future of any society depends on the practical and spiritual molding of the youth.

Youth constitute major portion of the world’s population. About 25 percent of the world population is youth. Thus, such a major portion of population can’t be ignored. Add to it the energy and determination, youth can be considered to be almost the whole population because a young person can do the works of several old people. Moreover, they are the leaders of future. So, the youth play, probably the most crucial of roles in national development.
All societies pay special attention to the youth. Youth are not only the leaders of tomorrow, but also the partners of today. Young people are social actors of change and progress. They are a crucial segment of a nation’s development. Their contribution, therefore, is highly needed.
